LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — A convicted sex offender has been arrested and is waiting to be extradited back to Utah.

The U.S. Marshals Service said 36-year-old Christopher Robert Law was taken into custody at 3:25 p.m. in the 2800 block of West Craig Road, which is off of Simmons Street.

Marshals said he was wanted for a rape that happened in June in Bountiful, Utah. That's about 15 minutes north of Salt Lake City.

Law enforcement officials said Law was previously convicted for aggravated sexual abuse of a child in 2010.

Marshals said Law is currently at the Clark County Detention Center waiting to be sent back to Utah. He's scheduled to be in court on Monday.
